The pacing and lack of freedom makes them stupidly difficult to enjoy replaying, but other than that I think they have very few flaws.

I didn’t like USUM when it came out but I liked it a lot when I replayed it a couple of years later.

I think the context of it coming out only a year after SM made it way less enjoyable.

When they were first revealed I was excited to soar around another tropical island just like in ORAS, but it didn't happen. Then they revealed Mantine surfing for USUM and i was just waiting for them to reveal we could surf around more freely and maybe even surf to small little islands with a couple Pokemon to find, think the Mirage Spots in Hoenn, but nah.

For some reason I never bothered to finish Sun after getting to Vast Poni Canyon like 7 years ago. Recently picked it up and completed the main game. I do appreciate the genuine attempt at a more story-driven Pokemon game, even if it didn't get everything right. I feel they put some actual effort into most of the characters and there's some great music as well. Kind of want to replay it or try USUM soon since I barely remember some parts of the game.

This game would be perfect if it wasnt for the pacing, it really ruins the experience
Everything else is genuinely amazing though, I love the story and dialogue, it's even better than BW

This game could genuinely use a remake

If they reduced the amount of dialogue in the game by 50% it would significantly improve, I think alola is one of the more well rounded regions.

The lack of free surfing is disappointing.

Like OP said, those long sequences of dialogue make it annoying to replay. But that's true of any text heavy game.
I really quite enjoyed Alola the first time round.

Yup, the first time around they are a top tier pokemon experience. Best games from nu-gf. Hm, my second choice would be ORAS and the rest is shit. Early Ohmori was not as trash.

well, i think it's good in that
>Region: I think region design started slipping after Sinnoh, and faceplanted at Galar, but Alola has a lot of heart and identity and everything from the towns to the music to the pokemon make it feel lived in
>Characters: Lusamine, Lillie, Gladion, & Kukui are badass, and even more minor characters like Hala or Nanu are pretty fun. Sure there are a few more forgetable faces like Ilima & Kahili but they mostly did a good job.
>Pokemon: Most of the new Pokemon are pretty great; Mudsdale, Golisopod, Toucannon, and Lycanroc being some of my favorites
>Story: It was the first twist villain and it was also done the best because we actually had some reason to give a shit about the character. SV basically tries the same thing with Arven's storyline and SwSh doesn't even try to sell you a convincing narrative about Rose. Also the Aether Paradise being this mechanical sleek futuristic juxtaposition to the wilds of the rest of Alola was kino
The problem is that the game is so strict with where you go and how you explore the region that it just feels so cramped.

It’s the second worst region behind Unova. We’ll be back to you in a few days.

if we ever get Legends Alola they need to let Vast Poni Canyon be an area, or maybe they'll be familiar enough with open world by then that each island will be one big map.
